[chuck-users] include in 1.2.0.6

That's correct.  The include system is still in the works and not in 
1.2.0.6.

No changes in garbage collection either in 1.2.0.6.  We wanted to get a
relatively stable release out before garbage collection.

A separate chuck program that uses machine.add() to run dependencies
might work in some cases.  Just run this as the first thing.  There are 
other
"emulations" such as abuse of the 'alias' utility (alias something to 
automatically
run with the right flags and classes).

Both include and gc are top priority.  We hope to have them implemented
soon.  Sorry for the hacks in the meantime.

Best,
Ge!
